[[File:Sakurajima2.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Sakurajima, as seen from Kagoshima, Sept 2014]]
*''Japanese'': 桜島 ''(Sakurajima)''
Sakurajima is an active volcano which sits in the middle of Kinko Bay, between [[Kagoshima]] City and the [[Osumi province|Ôsumi peninsula]].
It erupted on [[1779]]/9/1, and again in 1914, and has been in a near-constant state of ongoing eruption since roughly 1950, spewing smoke and ash, though only rarely seeing notable lava flows. In fact, the mountain is home to a sizable community, and is regularly visited by tourists. Though historically an island (J: ''-jima''), Sakurajima became connected to the [[Kyushu]] mainland as a result of the extensive lava flows of the 1914 eruption.
